Book Description

The third of a five-volume series designed to assist laity and clergy to better understand Baptist principles, The Church contains a detailed introduction, fifteen sermons, and a concluding essay. Topics include: the essence of the church as both divine and human, universal and local; membership of both believers and disciples; government as both a Christocracy and a democracy; local churches as both sanctuaries of individual freedom and sacred places of communal responsibility; ministry roles of both laity and clergy; and mission of both worship and witness.
